Our elders believe that the first day of the year should be spent wisely and as productive as possible so you can maintain the same energy throughout the year. In our case, we’re hoping to save money and find more affordable products all year long so we’re starting it with discounts and vouchers over at Shopee. Because we love sales, we’re ready to grab bath essentials over at the Unilever Beauty Store this 1.1 New Year Sale to make sure that we welcome the new year with a cabinet full of products that can help keep our skin well-nourished for 2022.

In case you’re still busy with New Year’s Eve meal preparations, here’s a short shopping list of our recommendations to make adding to cart easier. Just click on the headings below to be redirected to the product page:

1.TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Hair Conditioner Keratin Smooth

Price: Php 762 (620mL Bundle, 14% off)

For those worried about their dry and frizzy hair, TRESemme promises to deliver 10 salon benefits in one wash with the TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Straight Hair Conditioner Keratin Smooth for Dry and Frizzy Hair with Kera10 Protein Complex 620ml Bundle (I know that’s a mouthful). We’ve been very vocal about using TRESemme on the blog so let us reiterate that it really delivers what it promises. With this salon-quality haircare range, it can transform dry, frizzy hair to tresses that are Keratin-soft, smooth, and manageable.

2. POND’s Bright Triple Glow Facial Serum

Price: Php 373 (30g, 17% off)

If Wendy from KPOP group Red Velvet is using it, then we’re buying it! Although she probably uses other skincare products, it just feels nice to go #twinning with your favorite Korean idol. Plus, POND’s is affordable!

With Gluta Boost and Niacinamide for a dewy hydrated skin, this highly concentrated brightening serum is said to harness the power of 3 superstar skincare ingredients for triple action glow — brightening GlutaBoost+, pore-minimizing Niacinamide, and hydrating hyaluronic acid.

3. Dove Body Wash Deeply Nourishing

Price: Php 219 (550mL, 12% off)

I’ve been a Dove user ever since I was a kid. My dermatologist introduced me to Dove ever since I developed eczema (itchy skin patches that come back from time to time). This moisturising body wash has NUTRIUM MOISTURE ™ alongside mild cleansers and 1/4 moisturizing cream, that nourishes better than milk to help your skin retain its natural moisture, leaving you with softer, smoother skin. Super gentle, too!

4. Vaseline Rosy Lip Stick Balm

Price: Php 97 (9% off)

My derma used to tell me that our lips is the most sensitive part of the body so it tends to lose moisture faster, making people want to use hyaluronic acid for a quick fix. However, in my case, I’d like to stick to lip balms!

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips helps soften and soothe, helping us to repair – not just coat – our lip barrier. Easier to apply than petroleum jelly on a tub but works just as well! This lip care also protects us from UVA and UVB rays with SPF 15. What I love about it is that it doesn’t feel icky and greasy, so I can comfortably carry on with life even with a face mask on.

5. Closeup Natural Smile Whitening Toothpaste

Price: Php 211 (7% off)

To cap off our short list, let’s not forget to stock up on toothpaste! Since we’re welcoming the new year with a smile, we might as well take extra care of our pearly white teeth with Closeup Natural Smile Whitening Toothpaste. It’s currently sold in a bundle of 3 so we’ll have enough for months! However, let’s not forget that a quarterly visit to the dentist is still a must.

These are just our personal recommendations, but feel free to browse their Shopee Mall page as items will be discounted up to 50% off on January 1, 2022. For additional 15% off sitewide, you can also click on this link and enter the code 11SPPFF2022. Happy new year, indeed!
